"The number one barrier to sleep disturbance is your environment," says Charles Samuels, MD, medical director of the Centre for Sleep and Human Performance in Calgary, Alberta.
"The bedroom needs to be for you and only you," says Samuels.
If you have a digital clock that emits a glow, turn it to face the wall. (In fact, Samuels believes you shouldn't be able to see a clock from bed because checking the time is a big barrier to sleep.
Keep the clock under the bed if necessary, he insists.)
Samuels says to make sure the mattress you select can be returned if you don't like it.
